Ellie is so upset and hurt when she is turned away from the big white hospital because she is a black-and-tan dachshund. Ellie thinks about it and says, "I cannot give up and let this problem continue." So she goes to her sister, Maggie, and her community for help. They come up with the greatest plan that leads Ellie to make a difference. Ellie has changed the dog community forever. If Ellie can make a difference, then we all can make a difference.

Inspired by the greatest black-and-tan dachshund ever, Ellie Mae Nix!
